Hardly a paradise if it keeps getting flattened by hurricanes yearly. Humans have adapted over countless generations to survive the changing climates. These people are doomed to their fate through ignorance.

WoodyLee has a point. One that I have mentioned before. Keep publishing a certain type of crime, and watch all the copy cat events happen. That’s the problem with mainstream media: “if it bleeds, it leads”
Corey is also right, as is falseflagsteve. The rest of you want to watch mayhem. Shame on you.

Embarrassing, childish, puerile idiocy. Typically. He has lost it: his mind and the election. I think he knows it and doesn’t care anymore, just in kicking all the toys over mode.

Yes. Using the argument that they saved many lives from being lost in continuous fighting is plug bull.

Posted in: U.S., UK, other envoys to skip Nagasaki A-bomb ceremony because Israel not invited See in context
It was an American bomb that destroyed much of Nagasaki and killed between a hundred and two hundred thousand civilians.
US won’t go to the memorial service for this mass murder that they perpetrated, because their best friend, also a mass murderer, isn’t invited.
That tells me so much about the American psyche.

I’ve said this before here. It is compulsory to drive at least 20k/h over the designated limit. If you drive at the designated speed limit you will be met with road rage from those behind. It is a cultural issue, not political

I’m ok, but reading the comments on my hometown’s page on Fakbok is embarrassing.
How can people go through life not knowing the difference between ‘their’, ‘there’ and ‘they’re’?!
And ‘should of’ instead of ‘should have’?!
And the complete disregard for any kind of punctuation is just mind blowing.

Posted in: The government has finally taken a step forward and I hope that everyone will drive at lower speeds as a matter of course. See in context
Unbelievable. When the general consensus is to drive 20kms over the officially designated speed limit, expecting people to slow down is ridiculous.
When I first moved here I drove at the designated speed limit. Within minutes my wife was yelling at me “what are you doing?!” and a line of cars behind me beeping. I quickly learned that designated speed limits here are advisable and not enforced.

Ignore anyone who equates ‘political correctness’ with ‘woke’. They are just trying to hijack the conversation to push their ignorant bias against what ‘woke’ really is. It is not ‘political correctness’.
